Congratulations! Start prenatals now and then if you’d like them prescribed, switch over. I wouldn’t wait!

Go buy some prenatals. I was never prescribed prenatals in any of my 3 pregnancies, but the vitamins, especially folate, are so important in the beginning. I know a couple of women who had babies after 35 and both were healthy all around.

Well I’m 29 and my husband is 45. We have an almost 3 year old daughter who has had no health issues at all. Lots of people wait to have kids now days. You guys will be fine!!
Congratulations. I had my last at 36 she’s now 31. Yes I would start prenatal vitamins
You can get prenatal vitamins otc
My mom had me (first and only baby) at 45. I was a preemie because she had an undiagnosed uterine tumor that pushed me out. Aside from staying in an incubator for a while and a little asthma, I’ve been healthy. My mom lived to 97 and I turn 65 in about a week.
I had my second child at 35 and she was perfectly healthy and so was I.

Heard former British Prime Minister John Major speak at a convention. He said, “My father was 65 when I was born. My mother was…surprised.”
My sister had her daughter at 45 years old. Her daughter teaches special education now.
I’m 38 and just gave birth on friday before last and he’s a preemie and doing great 
prenatal are good but folic acid at first trimester is best good luck and enjoy
Get the vitamins. I was 36 when my daughter was born, she is 15 and healthy. No problems for me or her except she was breech and I had a c-section, which isn’t exactly a problem and had nothing to do with age

You can get prenatal vitamins over the counter. At the VERY least you should be taking a folic acid supplement or increasing your consumption of foods containing folate. It’s important for neuro tube development

I was 35 and my husband was 47 when we had are surprise baby boy. He was born healthy and happy. I did take prenatal vitamins before my first doctor visit. I also had a much easier pregnancy and delivery than I did when I had my other two. A boy at 26 and a girl at 28.

My mom had me at 36 and I’m fine, though I am left handed lol 
I had my first at 34 and last at 38, no health issues due to my age however it was exhausting for me. Why don’t you want to take the vitamins before the appointment?
I had my first at 33 and my second at 36. Both of my boys were healthy and fine. My oldest is epileptic, autistic (high functioning) and ADHD. But this runs on his dads side (autism and epilepsy). My youngest has adhd. I have adhd and it runs on my side. My pregnancies were just fine no problem. I just had extra monitoring with the second one. The last month I went weekly and had ultrasounds and did the fetal stress test every time. My appointments ran about 2 hrs at the end because of it but he was fine and so was I.
I had my 3rd blessing at 34!!! I didnt take prenatals until after i was about 8 weeks. He was so healthy and big that we had to force him out 2 weeks early lol Dont stress mama! Congratulations!
My mama was 40 years old when she had my youngest sister and they both are perfectly fine in fact she’s 10 years old now.
Here to suggest taking vitamins now and if the doctor feels you need something different then he will prescribe it then but your body needs the vitamins to make up for everything baby is taking away from you.

I had my kids at 39 & 40. Good pregnancies, csections, healthy babies. Hubby and I are both 45 now. I think it’s good to start on the prenatal right away to ensure your body has a good supply of all the vitamins that both you and baby need.

I was 39 when I got pregnant with my 1st. My dr immediately put me on prenatal, folic acid, fish oil and iron. I was extremely high risk due to diabetes. I was also worried bout health issues so my high risk dr tested for any genetic disorders. They put me at ease with telling me they wouldn’t expect any abnormalities in the first place, since both fiancé and myself have no history of birth defects in our families. The testing just confirmed it. There is always a risk for any age. Embrace your miracle baby. I now have a healthy happy 10 month old boy. Get started on prenatal vitamins.
I was 35 when i had my 3rd
37 with my 4th, 41 with my 5th and 44 with number 6

I had my fourth and last child at 35. He, too, was a surprise. I opted out of an amniocentesis (to check for down’s syndrome) and delivered a healthy, 10 pound baby boy. He was my kindest, gentlest, most well behaved child. Very sensitive and sweet. He did very well in school and was a leader and athlete. Good luck!

Age is just a number! I had my first at 33 and then again at 35. They are now 2 and 5mo. I feel younger and healthier now in my “old” age than I did in my 20s. I honestly think it’s a perfect time in life for children. I can’t imagine doing this any younger!

I have 18 year old twin daughters from my first marriage. I also have a 4 year old with my husband now of 10 years. I was 33 when he was born and my husband was 41. Our son was very much planned. My pregnancy and delivery went so much smoother this time around and I am such a better mother this time around. I love my girls so much, but I just lacked the maturity and patience to be the best mom I could be at the time. Some women do better having kids young, amd some women are better when they are older. It really depends on your outlook on being a mom all over again. I can tell you that it is the best experience ever for me and we plan on having another baby cause lil man is growing up like an only child and he is a social lil one who would make an amazing brother.

I was 35 and my husband was 40 when we had our daughter. She is now 13, and the absolute joy of our lives. And while we are older than a lot of her friend’s parents, she says that we are also ‘calmer’ with ‘less drama’. Idk if that is age or just personality, but she sees it as a positive.

Never say never
My youngest (now 2 years old) was born when I was 38. She’s completely healthy, full term, pregnancy went wonderful! If you’re concerned about not taking prenatals, pick something up over the counter. I never did a rx for prenatals. Just research for good quality ones congratulations! Surprise babies are just as amazing and loved as planned ones.
My daughter just had her 4th baby and she is 39 1/2 years old. No problems with her pregnancy band baby boy is just perfect. Try not to stress everything is going to be fine. Accident or planned - all babies are a gift. Good luck!
I had my daughter at 39. We were both fine…shes 19 now and my best friend. My mother had me when she was 36. Relax and enjoy your pregnancy.
I already have 2 baby’s at my youger age.im just turning 36 3rd.of July 2021 then I have unexpected pregnancy.but I am doing well now. I’m pretty you’ll fine.
Yes, I had my last child at 36… she was born prematurely and now she’s a healthy 4 year old.
I had my oldest at 38 and triplets 4 months shy of my 40th birthday. High risk? Of course. But both pregnancies went well. The trick is…don’t worry about anything unless there is something to worry about. Just do what you know are the rightthings for you and relax and enjoy your pregnancy! Love and prayers to you.

My sister had twins at age 40. Lovely children! Very healthy and intelligent!
I was 40 when I had my one and only child. I had such a easy pregnancy and my daughter is perfect.
I haven’t had any babies myself after the age of 30 but three of my friends did and they had healthy pregnancies and healthy babies. They were monitored closely and all went well. They were all in their early 40’s.
I had my first one at 17 and my last baby at 35. My doctor told me as long as I ate good and rested everything would be fine and it was. I took prenatal vitamins even when I was not pregnant so I would start right away
Girl I had both my babies in my 30’s. Folic acid is very important, Especially early in your pregnancy! 600 mcg a day!
Just had my baby in July and I am 35. My husband is 53. Baby boy is perfectly healthy. Only thing I suffered from was gestational hypertension. Age is just a number! Good luck!
I was 38 when my youngest daughter was born,she was perfect and such a blessing …you got this momma ! Prenatal vitamins are so important especially in the first few weeks of pregnancy, you can buy them at the store until you see your doctor .
